Neuro Aim Arena is a free browser neuroevolution aim duel. You fight robots controlled by neural networks that evolve each generation. Move with WASD or arrow keys, aim with the mouse, and click to shoot. Borders hurt you - push bots into them when you can. About ~160 KB after Play, no install, no account.

Click the canvas to start. WASD or arrows move, mouse aims, hold click to shoot. Kill the neural bots before they evolve into tougher generations. Borders damage you. Adapted from Victor Ribeiro's Aim and Shoot (MIT). About ~160 KB.
Desktop mouse recommended. Touch gets on-screen GuiControls sticks.
Welcome to Neuro Aim Arena - a free browser neuroevolution aim duel with no account or install. You face bots driven by neural networks that breed after each wipe. About ~160 KB after Play. Click the canvas to begin; WASD or arrows move; mouse aims; hold click to fire. Stay off the screen borders - they hurt. Privacy note: nothing is written to localStorage; a refresh resets to generation 1. For more free browser games, open the games hub. Related picks: Rock Paper Neural and Bang Bang Artillery.
How the neural bots evolve
The opponents here are not scripted. Each bot is driven by a small neural network, and after every wipe the survivors breed the next generation, so the wave you clear teaches the wave that follows. Play a few rounds and the bots begin to dodge, chase, and lead their shots noticeably better than the first generation you met. Because the run is session-only, refreshing the page throws that learning away and drops you back to generation 1 with a fresh, easy field - handy when a lineage has grown too sharp and you want to start the arms race over.
Tips for a longer run
- Use the borders as a weapon: the edges damage you, but they damage the bots too, so bait a chaser toward a wall and let the arena finish it.
- Expect each generation to be tougher: open cautiously and keep moving early, because the evolved waves punish standing still far harder than the first one does.
- Go fullscreen for the aim: once the match is running the Fullscreen button enlarges the arena, which gives the mouse more room to track a fast target.
- Prefer a desktop mouse: touch play falls back to on-screen control sticks, so a real mouse aims and fires with more precision.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Neuro Aim Arena?

How do I play?
Click the canvas to start. WASD or arrow keys move. Mouse aims. Hold mouse button to shoot. On phones, on-screen sticks appear via GuiControls.
What do the bars above bots mean?
Red is health. Green is the shoot cooldown meter - empty means you cannot fire until it regenerates.
Does it save progress?
No. There is no localStorage. Refreshing the page restarts at generation 1.
How big is the download?
About ~160 KB of HTML, JavaScript, CSS, artwork, controls overlay, and one shoot sound after you press Play.
